<title>Package Management</title>
|
||
<para>
|
||
This section describes how to add additional packages to your
|
||
system. NixOS has two distinct styles of package management:
|
||
</para>
|
||
<itemizedlist>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<emphasis>Declarative</emphasis>, where you declare what
|
||
packages you want in your <literal>configuration.nix</literal>.
|
||
Every time you run <literal>nixos-rebuild</literal>, NixOS will
|
||
ensure that you get a consistent set of binaries corresponding
|
||
to your specification.
|
||
</para>
|
||
</listitem>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>
|
||
<emphasis>Ad hoc</emphasis>, where you install, upgrade and
|
||
uninstall packages via the <literal>nix-env</literal> command.
|
||
This style allows mixing packages from different Nixpkgs
|
||
versions. It’s the only choice for non-root users.
